BLOOMBERG – A research paper by the Federal Reserve Banks of Dallas and St. Louis and Haverford College found that online dating has contributed to rising income inequality in the US. Since dating apps became popular, people are more likely to marry partners with similar education and income levels, accounting for about half of the increase in income inequality between 1980 and 2020. This trend has led to a 3% increase in the Gini coefficient, which measures income inequality, by concentrating wealth in certain households.
